Hyacinth Bulb Amigurumi (Happy Coridon)

This little one marks the 3rd crochet milestone for me! Made with the hyacinth bulb amigurumi pattern by Happy Coridon (pattern here), using a 1.75mm hook. Bought this pattern (along with the narcissus and spring bulb patterns) when I started learning to crochet. It's taken me a while to feel confident enough to attempt this.

Quite a lot of love, time and labour went into this hyacinth bulb.

I didn't have all the colours in lace weight yarn, so I divided the yarn strand in half, using the Scheepjes Catona in my yarn stash.

The pattern was easy to follow, but making this was quite challenging. Working with lace weight yarn and the 1.75mm hook was a challenge in itself, and my fingers cramped a lot. But it's also challenging because of the many small parts. Part of it was self-inflicted because I made 22 flowers, instead of 19 as specified by the pattern. Yeah, I got greedy. The additional flowers actually made assembly more challenging, on top of the extra labour....
